I would use that as an initial count of bytes by IP and then I would figure out a way to drill down. I've seen NetFlow analyzers, but this requires me to install software/device that can sniff and convert to NetFlow traffic to the analyzer. </div><div><br></div><div>I'm also looking at replacing the TP-Link with something that will do a little more. Maybe I use a bridge and locate a used Cisco AP. Cisco supports NetFlow so I may be able to feed that into a package named Scruitnizer.</div><div><br></div><div>I would then like to figure out a way to give my desktop traffic #1 priority. I use SSH all over so I want my typing to never be slow due to NetFlix, YouTube, etc. </div><div>The first project will be to increase visibility of the traffic. Then I'll focus on QoS issues.</div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><blockquote style="border-left:2px solid #1010FF;margin-left:5px;padding-left:5px;color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;" data-mce-style="border-left: 2px solid #1010FF; margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px; color: #000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Jim Kinney" <jim.kinney@gmail.com><br><b>To: </b>"Chris Fowler" <cfowler@outpostsentinel.com><br><b>Cc: </b>jimkinney@gmail.com, "Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts - Yes!
